    Is Newer Better?

    I've already left instructions of doing a direct interment when my time comes and be buried in a knotty pine casket especially if it's done in a greener way. Not only it's my favorite type of wood but also it's cheaper and I'm just personally not a huge fan of funerals. This is one thing I like...

    GE at our restore today

    I don't see what was wrong with that GE in the video, and that amount of a load is about what I'd put in as well. As what John pointed out, you're always gonna have suds coming out during the rinse cycle. I used to do a second rinse cycle on my Kenmore and even during the second rinse, I still...

    GE at our restore today

    Not saying it's guaranteed to happen but if I were to soak my clothes overnight, I'd rather not take the risk. https://automaticwasher.org/threads/rust-in-my-speed-queen-washer.92723/ https://automaticwasher.org/threads/fixing-my-speed-queen-rustbucket.96842/

    Speed Queen TC5 Tub Lean

    I just recently made a comment about this on another thread. As much as I like SQ, this just cringes me. Glad I'm not interested in getting a new one anymore.

    GE at our restore today

    Yup, I don't like it when a tub tilts or rust happens on SQ. Also another issue I've noticed with SQ is the sudsing. My LG has the same issue as well but I'm still happy I bought it over a SQ. But I never had that problem with GE or even my Kenmore. This particular model lasted for a good long...

    Is Newer Better?

    To me, it depends. Yes, machines have definitely gotten cheaper over the years where they don't last as long. But also, I've noticed that there has been some improvements. For example, I just washed a quilt on my LG that handled it no problem since it has a 5.2 capacity tub. None of my previous...

    GE at our restore today

    Meh. If I had bought that GE new back in the day, chances are it would've gotten replaced due to the problems those Raytheon machines had. My old T set never had issues and my cousin still has their T set at the cabin today. Based on my experience, I think those T machines are great as long as...

    GE at our restore today

    I've also seen one of those Raytheon built GE top loaders as well. There was this I found that I would've loved to have if I had collected washers. I think these are my all time favorite non Speed Queen branded machines that Raytheon has ever built. Because I love the looks of the control panel...

    Heads Up! Vintage SQ W&D Set

    Very nice set! I wonder if this is one of those models where water comes in all over the tub?

    Crown 450 Canister Vacuum

    I just got this machine yesterday from a friend of mine. I don't know much about it other than the fact it's a Royal. I'll eventually post a video of it up close.

    Will This Microwave Work In My Kitchen?

    I don't know who makes the dishwashers for Sharp but wouldn't be surprised if they're made by Midea just like most of their microwaves. I'd prefer having a microwave that was made by Sharp themselves in Thailand like this R1514TY, that's about as close to the one we had up at our last cabin and...

    Is it just me or was the Speed Queen design a fairly generic design back in the day?

    My old Maytag Neptune front loader had to only use HE detergent so Glenn is correct. For an HE machine, I thought it was excellent. Still miss it to this day.

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    I agree, I think those are my second favorite non SQ branded models (the first being GE) but for certain I would've bought one over a SQ because they were way cheaper from what I've read. I've also read somewhere that it was Amana who designed those classic agitators for Raytheon and Alliance...
